CONTACT/TEAM PREFERENCES

A comment separate from your app with your name, email, and team preferences. Making it a separate comment lets us keep it screened, thus keeping your team preferences private.

For the time zone field, feel free to make a note if working bizarre hours makes you effectively on a different time zone than stated.

"Team preferences" is a catch-all field for any thoughts you might have regarding your character's placement. For example, you might want a team that will put up with your character's sociopathy, or has a certain "feel" to it, or is friendly to your time zone, or maybe you don't think your character looks good in orange, and so on! This is also the spot to let us know if there are teams you DON'T want to be on. While you're not required to put anything here, don't say you have no preference unless you really, honestly have NOTHING to say on the subject! If you've already apped and realized you'd forgotten something? Make another comment!

Character Name: Simca
Canon: Air Gear
Reference Link: Here Oh wait, I mean Here

Character History: Nominally, the whole of Air Gear is about an epic tournament to gain the rarest part in the world necessary to making the bitchingest rollerblade in the history of ever. This of course must necessarily involve bodyswaps, nudist cults, holograms AIs, and epic shounen battles fought on aircraft carriers and jet planes. A test tube baby, born and bred to use said high powered roller blades, Simca and her siblings escaped from their test tube life at a young age because they had the ultimate rollerblade powers so why the hell not. They generally cavorted as science experiment teenagers do until there was a critical dissent among the ranks about just what a motley band of teens should do with their epic power skates. Splitting off into different teams, Simca goes along with who would become the series big bad until they discover the super shounen protagonist Minami Itsuki. Upon meeting Ikki, Simca instantly recognizes in him the 'sky' and his ability to spread the power of flight (via rollerblades) to all the people of the world and quickly sets about allying herself with his team, doing whatever is necessary to promote the victory of his middling band of high school hoodlums. Though she's beaten up and paralyzed by her love rival, regains the ability to walk within mere months through sheer shounen force of will, and even winds up captured and sometimes molested by previously aforementioned big bad, throughout all of this Simca never loses her will and determination to see to it that Ikki is victorious and obtains the best damn rollerblades for the sake of all rollerblades, the end. Did I mention Air Gear is drawn by Oh!Great?

Personality: At first glance, Simca comes off as incredibly perky, up beat, and optimistic. She's easy to smile, easy to trust those she believes in, and definitely not above using her wiles to get what she wants. This laid back attitude can at times belie a hidden strength and determination that sees Simca through all of her goals. When the situation calls for it, she's very capable of shedding her levity and getting down to business to put people in line or punch faces in. Carefree, flirtatious, and at times completely dangerous, Simca wants nothing more than to do everything in her power to grant Ikki his victory so that he can give his sky to all the AT riders of the world.

Writing Sample:

01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?
I've been called a couple things in my life. Migratory Bird, Simca of the Swallow. You can call me just Simca, though.

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?
It's a lot easier to feel the wind without them on. I think I'll pass.

03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?
Do you mean complete silence, I wonder? There's always a breeze fluttering through, or someone's singing faraway. It's really very hard to be completely silent, you know. Even if we're not talking our bodies can speak well enough for us~ I don't think I've ever gone a moment without it!

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
Aha, I don't think anyone~ would ever try something like that~ I'm very well aware of what they're up to.

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
I have a pet swallow named Messerschmidt. He's adorable~ Sometimes I take him out to fly with me.

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
Just what kind of a question is that? I don't like to see it, of course. Standing by and watching others suffer isn't something that helps them or gives them the freedom that they yearn for. But I won't let things like that stop me, no.

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
If it's a cake then it's definitely a fork. One of the cute petite ones.

08. Do you trust yourself?
Sometimes I think people can be lost, even from themselves. If there's a powerful wind that blows you can find yourself swept away in that current until you're not sure where or who you are. I've been that way before, but I've found the way to fly on that wind now. I trust myself, don't worry.

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.
If I listed something like that here then you'd find my secrets, wouldn't you? I think it's good for a girl to have some secrets just to herself.

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?
Of course. There's Ine, my brother. I'm sure Crow-kun would miss me terribly as well. I'd hate to make him upset like that again.
